Mary's Peak via the East Ridge 1 May 2015

Hazy day, but sunny, warm, and very summer-like!  Lots of little flowers were blooming including violets, wood sorrel, salmonberry, red flowering current, spring beauty, trillium, Oregon fawn lily, anemone, Oregon grape and a few others whose names I don't know. Only a few small flowers in the meadows.
Hike was 8 miles with 2100 ft gain as we traveled up and down and all around.
